Chapter 126

Today, she found she was wrong; it turned out that her cousin could also die.

Sadness surged from Lady Mingzhu's heart, and then turned into deep hatred, but when her hateful gaze fell on Su Xuan, she was awakened by reality, and this hatred disappeared.

Su Xuan noticed this scene and could not help but feel it was quite interesting. He said: "Lady, you are a person who knows the times; you should know what to do, right?"

Lady Mingzhu naturally knew what to do, or rather, she had already recognized reality.

She was an extremely smart woman; otherwise, she would not have been taught medical gu and illusion techniques by Bai Yifei, and she would not have become one of the four fierce generals of the Night Curtain. Compared to ordinary women, she was extremely calm, or rather... indifferent.

She was used to life and death; life, in her eyes, was just something that could be played with at will.

Even if the one who died was her cousin, although she was very sad, after recognizing reality, she quickly accepted this result.

Her cousin had already died; this was a fact. Now, the only thing she needed to care about was herself.

Su Xuan could kill her cousin and kill Ji Wuye, which meant that Su Xuan could kill her at any time.

Not to mention that there was poison planted by Su Xuan in her body.

If she could not remove this poison, if there was no antidote, she would also die before long.

Death, she was used to it, but it did not mean she was willing to accept death.

Otherwise, she would not have chosen to be controlled by Su Xuan in the first place.

"I have seen... Master!"

Lady Mingzhu tried hard not to think about Bai Yifei, and at the same time, suppressed her emotions as much as possible, making her voice soft. She bowed slightly and saluted Su Xuan.

That day, Yan Lingji and Lady Mingzhu had successively made bets with Su Xuan.

The stakes of the bet were both themselves.

Yan Lingji lost, and in order to preserve Tian Ze's life, she had to serve Su Xuan as her master.

Bai Yifei died, and Lady Mingzhu also lost. Although the specific situation of the two bets was not the same, Lady Mingzhu could also choose to resist to the end, preferring death to submission, but in the end, she still could not bear to part with her life and served Su Xuan as her master.

However, even as servants, Su Xuan's attitude toward Yan Lingji and Lady Mingzhu was different.

"Since you have chosen to serve me as your master, then come and change my clothes!"

Su Xuan said to Lady Mingzhu in a commanding tone.

Lady Mingzhu was stunned, not expecting Su Xuan to be so direct.

She looked at Su Xuan and saw Su Xuan looking at her with a playful gaze.

After Ji Wuye was killed by Su Xuan and she saw Bai Yifei's corpse with her own eyes, her fear of Su Xuan had reached its peak. At this moment, feeling Su Xuan's playful gaze, her body shook, and then she hurriedly stepped forward to serve Su Xuan.

She naturally knew what Su Xuan meant.

If it were in the past, if someone dared to covet her body, she would use gu insects to give that person all kinds of torture, and then let him die in pain.

Although she was the Han Wang's favorite concubine, even when the Han Wang was alive, he actually had not touched her. The beauty in the Han Wang's cognition was actually created by illusion.

But now it is different from the past.

Her life and death depended on Su Xuan's thought.

At such a time, she could only be obedient to Su Xuan in every way to win a glimmer of survival for herself.

Not to mention offering herself, even if it were other things, she would not hesitate much.

Soon, in this daytime, Su Xuan enjoyed things that only the Han Wang could enjoy.

He slept on the couch that the Han Wang had slept on, and did things that the Han Wang had not actually done.

It is worth mentioning that the corpse of the Blood-Clad Hou Bai Yifei was still on the ground, and Bai Yifei was Lady Mingzhu's cousin, once the person closest to Lady Mingzhu.

Time passed quietly.

When Su Xuan came to Lady Mingzhu, it was in the morning. After taking a nap here for a while, before he knew it, it was already afternoon.

Under Lady Mingzhu's service, Su Xuan put on his clothes, and Lady Mingzhu on the side lowered her eyes, looking flattering.

Su Xuan mentioned another thing, "As far as I know, the Crown Prince has already summoned Ji Wuye's son back to Xinzheng?"

"Yes!"

Lady Mingzhu responded.

"Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei died one after another, and the Night Curtain is leaderless. Have you thought about what to do next? Is it to seek another way out, or to serve Ji Yihu as your master?"

Lady Mingzhu had indeed thought about this question.

Ji Yihu, whether in terms of power or means, was not as good as Ji Wuye. If he inherited the Night Curtain, without powerful subordinates like Bai Yifei, the power of the Night Curtain would clearly begin to shrink, not as good as when it was at its peak.

But if she did not serve Ji Yihu and sought another way out, Lady Mingzhu really could not find where the way out was.

"Master, what do you want to say?"

Even though she had only served Su Xuan as her master for a short time, compared to Yan Lingji, Lady Mingzhu calling Su Xuan "Master" already seemed very natural.

"Ji Wuye died, and two of the four fierce generals of the Night Curtain also died, which means that the ones who truly control the Night Curtain now are the remaining two fierce generals. Since you have already served me as your master, then rounding up, it is equivalent to me controlling half of the Night Curtain."

"You say, is the Straw-Cloaked Guest willing to be used by me and serve me as his master?"

Su Xuan said lightly.

Lady Mingzhu immediately understood Su Xuan's intention.

She hurriedly expressed her position: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely try my best to persuade the Straw-Cloaked Guest."

"No need for you to persuade him, just invite the Straw-Cloaked Guest to me." Su Xuan said lightly, "If the Straw-Cloaked Guest is a smart person, I think he will know how to choose."

"If he refuses to make a choice, I don't mind leaving only one of the four fierce generals of the Night Curtain."

"I think, in the case of only one fierce general left, there can't be any opposition in the Night Curtain, right!"

Lady Mingzhu heard the meaning in Su Xuan's words, and her heart suddenly felt a chill.
